BACKPACK STUFFING
A FESTIVAL OF MUSIC, SHOES,
RESOURCES AND SCHOOL
HUGE TURNOUT OF FAMILIES
PARADE UNIFIES EASTSIDE
By Kathleen Merryman
kathleen@tacomaweekly.com
S
hennetta Smith wore her
“Never Surrender” T-shirt
to the Eastside Families
Back to School Parade &
Festival Aug. 30.
It was truth in advertising for Smith,
for her four children, the staff at First
Creek Middle School and the 20-plus
social services and performers at the festival. All of them are fighting the odds in
the East Side neighborhood, where the
population is low-income, diverse and
moves more than average.
For all its fun, freebies and food, this
was a serious, and successful, experiment.
The aim was to invite the families, to
make them feel welcome and supported
at the school, said principal Brad Brown.
Family involvement is key to students’
success, and getting so many of them
there was a big win.
“We planned for 500 people,” Brown
said of the barbecue lunch. “I don’t
know if we fed half the people before the
food ran out.”
It was the same with the 200 backpacks. There were still 100 kids needing
them after they were gone.
Seen one way, it was a disappointment. From the flip side, it was an indication that families are engaging with
the school. Fahren Johnson, program
director at the school’s Eagle Center,
told the kids who missed out that she
would try her best to rustle up enough
school supplies for them.
Even as things were running out
Brown was optimistic. People came and
got a look at who was ready to support
them. Inspire them.

The 1956 Continental Mark II in
Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Car Museum was donated
by Steve Boone, owner of Northwest
Harley Davidson in Lacey.
The Mark II provides viewers with
an example of Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forward-thinking designs and attention to quality
during the middle of the last century. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To craft the finest automobiles
in Americaâ&#x20AC;? was, after all, the motto of
the short-lived Continental Division of
Ford Motor Co.
Boone said the sleek look and luxurious interior gained his attention when
he acquired the car.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Continental Division of Ford
Motor Company traced its roots back to
Edsel Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pet project, the 1939 Lincoln Continental,â&#x20AC;? The April 2005 issue
of Hemmings Classic Car noted.
The Lincoln line had stopped production in 1948, and dealers were eager
to fill their showrooms with a replacement. The Mark II fed into that line.
PHOTO COURTESY OF LEMAY COLLECTION
Work on designing the car started in
1952 with research to determine whether a market for such a premium car even
existed. The company determined the
model itself would likely lose money,
but it would build the brand prestige
for other Ford models. A design contest
among Ford stylists and outside contractors resulted in a two-door coupe
designed by staffer John Reinhart. It
was both traditional and classic, yet
incorporated what he termed Modern
Formal design - this was the Mark II.
When it debuted as a 1956 model
in October of 1955, the $9,966 Mark II
was one of the heaviest American cars,
topping out at 5,190 pounds on a 126inch wheelbase. Under the hood was a
standard Lincoln V-8 engine that could
reach 60 miles per hour in 16 seconds.
SICK LEAVE BENEFITS MOVE
CLOSER TO COUNCIL ACTION
By Steve Dunkelberger
stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com
Noshing on hotdogs
and brisket, sick-leave
supporters gathered in
a Sixth Avenue parking
lot last week to promote
awareness of their effort
to require business owners
to provide paid sick leave
for their workers.
Healthy Tacoma is a
federation of human rights
and minority groups, labor
unions, business owners
and workers that are working to build support for a
proposal the group hopes
to bring to Tacoma City
Council for consideration.
Council members Anders
Ibsen and Ryan Mello
already back the concept,
although the details of
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paid Sick and Safe Timeâ&#x20AC;?
are being worked out.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to try
to push it through when
it is ready,â&#x20AC;? said Healthy
Tacoma organizer Sandy
Restrepo.
The working concept
now is to have businesses
with more than 10 employees provide an hour of
paid sick leave for every
30 hours worked with a
cap of 40 hours of sick
leave. Larger companies
would have higher caps,
topping off at 108 hours
for firms with more than
250 employees. The sick
leave could be used for

ment to have employers provide sick leave for workers.
sick leave would bring
since productivity and
employee retention makes
up for any â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost time.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cripple you,â&#x20AC;?
she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
cost all that much.â&#x20AC;?
Business groups and
restaurant associations are
opposing the plan because
they feel the new requirement would hurt businesses with added cost
and regulations in an economic environment that
is already tough for businesses to turn profits.
Tacoma
Chamber
CEO Tom Pierson points
out that state and federal
laws protect workers from
being fired for asking for
sick leave as proponents
contend happens all the
time.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;You already have
protection in place,â&#x20AC;? he
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So it comes down
to what do we really need
to fix?â&#x20AC;?
A look at Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sick
leave law shows that dishwashers and table bussers
are much more likely to
use their sick leave than
servers, so controlling the
spread of illnesses from
worker to patron hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
changed. Small businesses often find themselves
shuffling duties around, so
an occasional sick day just
adds to that mix, Pierson
personal health, preventative care, family sickness
or for time to deal with
domestic violence legal
filings. Similar plans have
been approved in Seattle,
Portland, New York City,
Washington, DC and the
entire state of Connecticut.
About 40,000 workers
around Tacoma, mostly in
hospitality jobs in restaurants or hotels, have no
sick leave benefits. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s
two out of every five
workers in the city, which
is the national average.
A report on San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ordinance concluded that few businesses
saw profits drop from the
added cost of providing
paid sick leave and that
most workers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end
up using all the sick leave
they had accrued. And
about 60 percent of Tacoma businesses, Restrepo
said, are already offering
some sort of sick leave
policy.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;An overwhelming
amount of businesses are
already doing the right
thing,â&#x20AC;? she said.
One of those is Makini
Howell, who runs Plum
Bistro and Quickie Too.
She is also a backer of the
effort and says the businesses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to fear
about the added costs paid
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask me about the
AARP Auto

from The Hartford.â&#x20AC;?
2nd and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Street
Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and
the city knows it.
During the past couple of years, the city has
acknowledged this issue by spending millions of
dollars in major arterial repairs with the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
â&#x20AC;&#x153;pothole initiative.â&#x20AC;? And in 2010, routine maintenance
by Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road.
In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square
feet of road riddled with holiness, and continued those
efforts in 2012.
And while that may sound like a lot of ground,
new holes pop up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or return â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each and every day,
which means a pothole-free road might never exist in
Tacoma.
With the help of our readers and our dedicated
Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the
cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest and best potholes through our weekly
homage to one of T-Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unnerving attributes.
Help the Pothole Pig by e-mailing your worst pothole
suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com.
Potholes in need of repair can be reported to the City
of Tacoma by calling (253) 591-5495.

said. What the paid leave
movement is really about
is a national effort against
large corporations.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people are targeting one or two businesses,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting
that McDonalds and WalMart are often mentioned.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not about Tacoma.â&#x20AC;?
McDonalds restaurants are actually mostly
franchises that are locally owned and WalMartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Daughters honor their late mother at 5k run/walk and one mile
walk to raise money for the National Lung Cancer Partnership
By David Rose
A taxi driver was parked at the
Tacoma Dome Transit Center on
Aug. 29, when another cab driver parked behind him and started
yelling at him for being a “terrorist” because he is Muslim born in
Somalia although he is a United
States citizen. The victim said the
suspect driver had harassed him
several times. The suspect driver
denied the altercation happened, so
police viewed security camera footage. The police later determined that
no crime was committed and that
the victim should seek a restraining
order against the man.
A man claimed a convenience
store clerk had stolen his wallet at
a gas station along the 1400 block
of Sprague Avenue. The clerk called
police when the man became abusive. The responding officer later
arrested the man for threatening the
officer with a piece of a mirror and
for giving a false name. The man
was booked into Fife jail, where
officers recognized him from a drug
charge earlier that day. The man had
apparently swallowed the drugs and
was taken to the hospital, where he
escaped.

Correspondent
Lynn Osborne, a
Tacoma mother of two,
was 44 years old when
she was diagnosed with
lung cancer in 2008. She
died this past February
from the disease, one of
160,000 people who lose
their lives every year to
DAVID ROSE
lung cancer.
At 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7 at Tacoma’s Ruston Way-Dickman Park, Lynn’s
friends and family will take part in the Free
to Breathe Tacoma 5k Run/Walk and 1 mile
Walk to raise money for the National Lung
Cancer Partnership, a non-profit organization focused on research, education and
awareness programs.
Cathy Schrock, who works as the public information officer for the Federal Way
Police Department, was Lynn’s best friend.
She says, “This year is the first memorial
walk and I am filled with so much emotion.
I want to help fight the BEAST that took our
best friend and mother.”
All cancers take a devastating toll but
lung cancer is the leading killer in the United
States, taking more lives than breast, prostate, colon and pancreatic cancers combined.
Police Blotter
In the Aug. 23 story “Old federal
building could become new hub for arts,”
it was incorrectly stated that the old federal building in Tacoma opened in 1901.
The correct date is 1910. We apologize
for this error.

Only 15 percent of people diagnosed with

For as long
as she can
remember,
Jackie Yeh has
always enjoyed
helping people
and volunteering for organizations that
truly make a
difference. The JACKIE YEH
sophomore at
Charles Wright Academy is now focusing her efforts on helping her peers discover the volunteer opportunities available and how rewarding the work can
truly be. Through her website www.
jackiesvolunteernetwork.com, teens
can discover the opportunities that are
out there, while finding volunteer work
that appeals to them.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteering is a great way to
meet and connect with new people,â&#x20AC;?
she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope the website makes it
easy for kids to find something they
would enjoy.â&#x20AC;?
The website features listings from
37 organizations, which include mission statements, locations, special
training requirements and more. Last
summer, Yeh began writing up the
siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content, and officially launched
this year.
Yeh herself has volunteered for
a variety of organizations, including
Stand Up For Kids, Associated Ministries, Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hunger Walk and more.
Although she enjoyed volunteering
for these particular organizations, she
wanted to find a way to connect her
fellow students with similar opportunities. After realizing there were limited
volunteer options for teens, she decided to take action and link students with
the opportunities that do exist throughout the region.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;My ultimate goal for the website

she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have found that helping

Jerry Eckrom has vivid
memories of his first Fort
Nisqually Candlelight Tour.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I portrayed a sailor from
a Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Company
supply ship and worked up a
Liverpool accent by listening
to old Beatle movies,â&#x20AC;? said
the Tacoma resident. Eckrom
has been the part of every
candlelight tour at the Fort in
Point Defiance since the first
in 1986.
This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will take
place the evenings of Friday and Saturday, Oct. 4-5.

bpt.me or at Fort Nisqually.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $8
for youth ages 4-12. Tours
are approximately an hour
in length and begin every 15
minutes. A shuttle bus transports visitors to Fort Nisqually
from the Zoo parking lot for
the walking tour.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the beginning, the
tour seemed to work a spell
on people,â&#x20AC;? said Eckrom. He
recalled one of the first years
when â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bus driver was so
struck by the excitement of
people coming back from the
tour he had to come and see it
for himself.â&#x20AC;?

Tacomans load up the shopping cart, swipe
the debit card and broadcast the tools for a
happy school year.
They hold drives at work and church
and book clubs. When they shop for backpacks with their kids, they let them pick an
extra one and fill it with all the supplies
on the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list. Sometimes they tuck
in a book.
Solo, they dart into school offices to
leave piles of notebooks. As groups, they
support neighborhood schools. Citywide
(and county-wide) they team with Communities in Schools to Stuff The Bus. This
year, Tacomans donated enough supplies
to put 3,000 backpacks on buses bound for
neighborhoods where many families live
on low incomes and kids know that school
is the best path to prosperity.
On Aug. 28, the bus was due at Salishanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Investment Center at 2 p.m.
Word was, there would be 300 backpacks
filled with supplies on it. Salishan mom
Lisa Miller was in charge of the line.
A relentless volunteer, Miller is on a
first-name-and-a-hug basis with scores of
Salishan kids. This was her third summer
working with St. Leoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Connection
and managing the lunch program at the
picnic shelter.
Michael Power, manager of educational
programs for Tacoma Housing Authority,
arrived as Miller was stationing the lunch
kids at the front of the line.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is in collaboration with our Brown
Bags and Books free summer lunch and
learning program, which serves about 40
low-income kids per day,â&#x20AC;? Power said.
light provide illumination for
the walking tour of the Fort,
where re-enactors bring to life
the laborers, servants, gentlemen and ladies of the Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Company. Visitors
can eavesdrop on conversations about territorial events,
hear discussion of the labors
of the day, and be entertained
with song, dance, and games.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people from the
past wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be aware of 21st
century visitors,â&#x20AC;? said Chris
Erlich, event coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For
them, it is 1859, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
exist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;
Through the years, Eckrom has witnessed many
Oh, and by the way, he added, Miller is
spectacular. She knows everybody because
sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everywhere. She works at Lister
Elementary School and collaborates with
the Kimi and Dr. George Tanbara clinic to
spread the word on healthy lifestyle choices. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at every festival, every event,
building and keeping the peace. Managing
the growing line, her signature superpower
came into its own.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally!â&#x20AC;? she laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one time
my A.D.D. comes in handy!â&#x20AC;?
As she said it, someone tugged on her
T-shirt. A 6-year-old girl had lost a tooth,
and Miller was off to help the child rinse
out her mouth and put the tooth in a safe
pocket.
The line was squiggling and growing.
Kids were excited about backpacks, just as
Power had hoped they would be.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is all part of our campaign of
expectations,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect our
children to have success in school and
graduate high school ready for college or
a job.â&#x20AC;?
To that end, THA gave out 500 books
to young people over the summer and is
working to sign up all eligible students for
the College Bound Scholarship program.
It was 2 p.m., and the bus STILL
wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. The squiggling intensified,
and the line grew around the back side of
the Family Investment Center. Representatives of Opus Bank, Old Republic Title and
Escrow, Sterling Bank, Columbia Bank,
the Tacoma Rainiers, some of the companies that donated supplies were there.
Other donors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Puget Sound Orthopedics,
the Mount Tahoma High School Football
Team, Costco, Titus Will Ford, University
of Washington-Tacoma, Nordstrom and
Grace Community Church â&#x20AC;&#x201C; greeted students at other Communities in Schools
moments that have stuck with
him. He recalled one teenage
girl excitedly describing the
dresses â&#x20AC;&#x153;practically stitch by
stitchâ&#x20AC;? the ladies wore in the
parlor.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad to still be
here after all these years,â&#x20AC;? said
Eckrom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always great fun
to see what new scenarios or
new characters this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour
will bring. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the next surprise.â&#x20AC;?

stops.
Miller wanted to thank them all.
The backpacks, she said, were a physical expression of their good wishes for
these children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes kids feel like
theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to school maybe a little on
top of their game for the year. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re
hopeful. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m
going to do really good.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
Bella Hernandez, 6, was heading into
first grade, and thought about what that
new backpack would mean to her.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means my supplies and my school
stuff, and it means my teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homework
that I have to carry in it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want
a baby blue one.â&#x20AC;?
Like Bella, Max Bass is headed to first
grade at Lister.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can carry my stuff, and I can bring
my homework home and work on it,â&#x20AC;? he
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A backpack means very, very much
to me.â&#x20AC;?
At 9, Haylie Jensen, is an old hand,
going into Listerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth grade.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot to me, because I can
carry my school work in it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want
to lose any of it, because I want to get a
good grade,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A backpack keeps
everything safe.â&#x20AC;?
And then Rhubarb, Tacoma Rainiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
celebrity reindeer, appeared and the bus
pulled in. Volunteers ran inside, grabbed
backpacks and ran them out to the company representatives, who held them up for
kids to choose.
There were baby blues among them,
and skaters, and starbursts.
There were 300 of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and some
350 students.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too late to stuff a backpack
â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on sale soon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and start a
studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school year off with a gift of
confidence.

N
ow that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slight shade
of fall in the air, the time has
come for one of Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
most anticipated outdoor fundraising
events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 2013 South Sound AIDS
Walk. Taking place at Cheney Stadium
on Sept. 21, the push is on now for
walkers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; individuals or teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to sign
up and help raise vital funds to meet the
growing needs for comprehensive HIV/
AIDS prevention, care and advocacy
services in Pierce, Thurston and Lewis
counties.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do new
things and also keep it as familiar for
people as possible,â&#x20AC;? said Stacy Ellifritt, events and communications officer at Pierce County AIDS Foundation
(PCAF). Among the new things is a
free â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fundraise with Friendsâ&#x20AC;? mobile
app for smartphones or compatible tablets in which registered participants can
stay connected and encourage donations
while on the go. This app is intended
to help registered walkers fundraise at
their convenience on any mobile device
and to easily stay in touch with current
donors, and recruit new ones.
Walkers have an enticing incentive
this year to raise all the funds they can.
Every $100 raised gets one entry into a
drawing for a Seattle Adventure package for two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if they raise $300, their
name will be in the drawing three times,
and so on,â&#x20AC;? Ellifritt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did this
a number of years ago, and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re
bringing it back.â&#x20AC;?
A few package highlights: a onenight stay in a deluxe king room at the
sleek and modern Hyatt at Olive 8; a
cruise around the Seattle Harbor with
tour passes compliments of
Argosy
Cruises, a trip to Banya 5 urban spa
complete with a Turkish steam room and
tea lounge, and much more.
Hannah Febach is PCAFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand new
volunteer coordinator. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very busy
these days leading up to the Walk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right
now I am focused on recruiting and
coordinating over 150 volunteers,â&#x20AC;? she
said, noting that PCAF offers multiple
opportunities for volunteers during the
day of the Walk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; set up, clean up, photographer and videographer, greeters,
route monitors and parking monitors.
Greeters welcome people as they
walk into Cheney Stadium and point
them in the direction of registration.
Route monitors stand in groups of two
to three at designated spots on the walk
route. They cheer the walkers on, guide
them in the right direction and provide
any assistance needed. Parking monitors
help direct traffic and make sure that
people park in the designated parking
areas and not in the way of the walk
route. Interested? E-mail Febach at hfebach@piercecountyaids.org or call her
at (253) 383-2565.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, we have a virtual walker
option this year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is for
people who would like to participate
but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there the day of the event or
canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t physically walk the route. If they
choose this option during online registration, they will gain access to all our
fundraising tips and resources. This way
they can participate in the success of the
event without having to walk the route.â&#x20AC;?
This year is Sean Gregoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first
time to do the South Sound AIDS Walk,
walking with the PCAF Warriors Team.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I support the AIDS Walk because
many people in my life have been afflicted by HIV and AIDS,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a
more personal note, I know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
like to be that scared little gay boy (or
gay man, in more recent years) in a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office alone waiting to see what the
results will be. I contend that the biggest
issue that HIV positive people face is the
Family

DENTISTRY
social stigma, more so than the disease
itself. I think it is important to humanize HIV positive people and the most
important work/support we can provide
is educating the masses and ending the
stigma.â&#x20AC;?
Eric Felt has â&#x20AC;&#x153;walked the Walkâ&#x20AC;? for
the past three years after learning of it
through PCAFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Dining Out for
Life event.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more I became vocal about
my personal support of PCAF, the more
people around me shared their personal
stories,â&#x20AC;? Felt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had friends I had
known for a long time who have come
forward and thanked me for my support
of this cause â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they had been living with
HIV for years and were always afraid to
say anything. It really made me realize
that there is still so much social stigma
around this disease, and this has really
inspired me to do what I can to make a
difference.â&#x20AC;?
Felt is captain of the 17-member Red
Team with co-captain Marc Larson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We
are all friends, and friends of friends,
and now new friends. The first year we
participated we raised about $2,500 as
a team. Last year, we were able to raise
over $5,000, so this year we decided as a
team to try for $10,000.â&#x20AC;?
This is also Laurie Lauermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
third year to walk as captain of Team
Schmoopie Pie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PCAF does so much
for the community, and I want to be a
part of that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is
a misconception in the public mind that
people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t die of AIDS or complications arising from AIDS anymore and
that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t still being spread. Tacoma
has the second highest population of
those living with AIDS in the state of
Washington, and I think we need to
change that.â&#x20AC;?

PLENTY OF PLAYMAKERS
RETURN FOR CONTENDERS
F
inal preparations are underway for the
opening games of the football season,
which began with a few match-ups on
Sept. 5. We finish our football previews
with a look at the squads from University
Place and Lakewood, along with Life
Christian and Tacoma Baptist.
CURTIS VIKINGS
The SPSL 4A should again feature a number of threatening offenses this year, but the Vikings look ready for
the challenge as they boast a talented, veteran defense.
Leading the way on the defensive line are 300-pound
senior Odessa Mendoza and senior Darius Riddley, who
each earned first-team all-league honors last year. Joining
them are fellow senior Gabe Watkins and junior Jacob
Budnick, while all-league linebacker Calvin McClain
returns to back them up. Junior Dawson Beard should
also make noise at linebacker, while Mitchell Hersey will
lead the secondary.
The offense, while not as experienced overall, should
also be solid as senior quarterback Scott Wismer returns,
while Hersey should get a bulk of the carries. Carter
McKay and Jayson Williams are playmakers at receiver,
while Beau Olson brings experience at tight end. Senior
center Tanner Amell also returns to bring leadership and
stability to the offensive line.
“We don’t have as many returning starters on offense
back, but the people we do have back we think are pretty
solid, and we have some guys that can go all the way in
one play,” said head coach Clay Angle.
As in recent years, the Vikings have their eyes set
on challenging the likes of Federal Way and GrahamKapowsin, but Angle believes the entire league is improving quickly. “Our league is a solid league,” he said. “If
we don’t prepare each week to play hard, bad things can
happen… there’s not many creampuffs.”
By Jeremy Helling
LAKES LANCERS
Still stinging from last year’s second-place finish to
Peninsula in the SPSL 3A, head coach Dave Miller says
his team’s resolve to right the ship is strong. “We felt
pretty bad about (last year), but we feel we have the players in place to take the title back,” he said.
Leading the group for the Lancers is running back
and kick returner Caleb Lyons, who is his team’s form of
“Mr. Versatility.”
“Caleb did it all for us last year and we are looking for
a repeat performance from him,” Miller said.
Another versatile contributor for Lakes is junior
defensive back Kemonee Jenkins, who also may be taking the reins at quarterback.
“Kemonee has good straightaway speed, and can be a
good lockdown corner too,” Miller said.
Junior 6-foot-3, 295-pound interior lineman Kiyrie
Simons gives Miller and his coaching staff more versatility when needed. “Kiyrie moves pretty well for a guy his
size and covers a lot of ground in the process.”
Junior tight end and defensive end Benning Potoa’e
should be a monster on both sides of the ball as well.
Miller sees better things for the Lancers this year, but
knows the challenge will not be easy. “Peninsula is still
tough, as is Enumclaw, and Auburn-Mountainview and
Bonney Lake are much improved, too.”

CLOVER PARK WARRIORS
Still stinging from last year’s two-game forfeiture,
which cost the Warriors a playoff spot because of two
ineligible players, coach Jon ‘Taz” Randall is looking to
right the ship for the 2013 season.

A far cry from the first half of
the season, the second half saw the
Tacoma Rainiers’ offense slump –
with many of the promising young
stars being called up to the Mariners
– and with it a once-promising start
fell apart. The Sacramento River Cats
ended the Rainiers’ season on a sour
note on Sept. 2, topping Tacoma 9-6
on a pleasant Labor Day afternoon at
Cheney Stadium.
“We’re sad in one sense not being
in the playoffs, but we were pleased
with the way the young kids produced,” said Tacoma skipper John
Stearns.
The Rainiers got started early with
three runs in the first inning, but ran
themselves out of a bigger inning
with Nate Tenbrink and Ji-Man Choi
committing base-running mistakes.
Sacramento would answer with four
runs in the second inning and never
looked back.
Shortstop Carlos Triunfel was
3-for-4 with two runs batted in for the
Rainiers, while recent call-up James
Jones was 3-for-3 with two doubles
and a run batted in, and right fielder
Joseph Dunigan cut the deficit to 8-6
with a two-run homer in the bottom
of the eighth.
But Rainiers starter Andrew Carraway was roughed up, surrendering
eight runs – five earned – on 10 hits in
4.2 innings, with two walks and five
strikeouts.
But looking ahead to the future,
Stearns noted that recent call-ups of
Choi, Jones and the addition of Xavier
Avery (acquired in a trade from Baltimore for Michael Morse) may provide similar optimism as Nick Franklin and Brad Miller, who both have
become mainstays with the Mariners
after dominating in Triple-A early in
the year. “Choi should be a very good
power-hitting first baseman for many
years in the majors, and Avery and
Jones showed some real ability and
their future appears bright.”
Other players singled out by
Stearns included Truinfel, Chance
Ruffin, and Hector Noesi, who got the
call to Seattle after the game for the
month of September. “They have all
earned the promotion and I hope they
will take advantage of the opportunity
to perform at the highest level and
make an impression on the Mariners
brass.”
The loss to Sacramento put Tacoma’s final record at 76-68, two games
shy of a spot in the PCL playoffs.
Despite the bitter end, the early success – in which the Rainiers held the
best record in the PCL for a majority
of the first half – was a great experience for Stearns in his first season as
manager.
“It’s a pleasure to play in front of
such a great group of fans every night
here in Tacoma,” noted Stearns.
Looking far ahead, Tacoma will
open the 2014 season on April 3
against Albuquerque at Cheney Stadium.

begin
to
get into full
swing, we
take a look at the local
volleyball squads, some of
which are again looking
to make deep postseason

The bar has been set
high after winning the 4A
state title last fall, but the
Lions should be loaded for
another run again. Their
recent success and returning roster has Bellarmine
Prep nationally recognized, with some rankings placing them within
the top 50 schools in the
country.
The Lions will try to
repeat their success behind
Narrows 4A MVP and
University of Washington
commit Courtney Schwan,
whose accomplishments
and accolades keep rolling
in. The dominant 6-foot-2
senior outside hitter is
joined by senior Emily
Newberry up front, while
juniors Reghan Pukis and
Claire Martin provide the
Lions more overwhelming
size. Senior Julia Wright
will look to continue to
lead the defense, and
junior Natalie Jensen will
be serving as the setter.

outside hitter Tabi Webb
and libero Helena Stout,
but the potential is there
for an improved season.
Leading the way should
be senior right-side hitter
McKenna Cady and senior
setter Lauren Schultz,
while
junior
Chloe
Coughlan also returns to
shore up the middle.
Junior Julia Jones will
look to step in and be the
defensive specialist, while
Merritt noted that sophomore Ashton Robertson
is a promising right-side
hitter.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely have
strong hitters and blockers and a quick defense,â&#x20AC;?

The Rams are another
squad under new tutelage this year, as former
assistant Jackie Mullen
takes over. And there will
be much to replace, as
all-league outside hitter
Sojournah Channel transferred back to Spanaway
Lake and second-teamers
Tia Briggs and Alexis
Slater graduated.
Mullen will be counting on senior middle hitter
Savana Smith and senior
right-side hitter Nia Cox
to lead the way, while
setter Sarah Schroeder
will look to set them up
with solid passing. Mullen is also impressed with

skilled freshman outside
hitter Alex Bunch, who
should contribute.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our biggest challenge
is that since we are such a
new team, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just getting
our team chemistry going
since we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played
together before,â&#x20AC;? Mullen
noted.
LINCOLN
The Abes graduated
seven seniors last year,
but interest in the program
remains strong, as 58 girls
turned out this season.
Headlining the group
is senior outside hitter Lyric Jones, a solid
all-around player, while
senior setter Iyris Fua
shows good court awareness and leadership skills.
Sophomore basketball star
Tamia Braggs joined the
team this season and has
impressed early with her
work ethic and focus, and
incoming freshman libero
Leea Jones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lyricâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a skilled defender
and excellent passer who
should contribute early.

The Falcons will be
a fairly young squad this
year, and are another team
that welcome a new head

Mount Tahoma.
Senior middle blocker
Faâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;umanuia â&#x20AC;&#x153;Niaâ&#x20AC;? FĂĄalaviau and senior Naomi
King will look to provide
the leadership for the Falcons, while junior setters
Monica Villanueva and
Kiersten Luedtke should
set the hitters up nicely.
Rosario is also impressed
with freshmen Angela
Stanback and Patricia
Stahlnecker, who each
should find a role in the
rotation.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to build
strong,

coach Terry Lynn Thayer. Thayer will be counting on
senior middle hitter Aliyah Carector – who earned
second-team all-league honors last year – to lead the
way, while senior Rejie Wright will help up front and
senior Cydney Tillman should be a solid defensive
specialist.
The Thunderbirds should also feature some versatility, as senior setter Jessica Evans and junior leftside hitters Asalei Sokimi and Sacha Ausage can also
serve as defensive specialists. Sophomore Alanna
Bates-Carector flashed a lot of ability last season and
should once again be a key player this year.
LIFE CHRISTIAN
After advancing to the 1A state tournament last
year, the Eagles should be loaded for another run,
returning nearly their entire roster.
A solid core of seniors is headlined by dominant
right-side hitter Johnnise Moore, while setter Carly
Normandeau is an excellent distributer. Fellow senior
middle hitters Ashlee Hamilton and Jordan Youngblood should be solid as well, while Acacia Sanchez
should help lead the defense along with junior libero
Kylie Burton. Junior outside hitter Maddy Long
already has extensive experience as well, and sophomore Kaitlyn Konsmo is another important player
who can serve as a setter or defensive specialist.
;(*64()(7;0:;
The Crusaders are a veteran group as well,
returning all of their starters, including SeaTac 2B
MVP Natalie Snyder. Snyder is dominant with her
overhand smash, but also passes extremely well and
displays a great serve.
Three-year starting setter McKenna Neufeld
returns to provide more leadership for the offense,
and senior outside hitter Kathryn Carlson also displays a solid all-around game.
Senior Michaela Jandebeur should provide some
more size up front, while junior Lily Powell should be
strong on the right side and sophomores Jane Cooksley and Ashley Brooks should push for more time
“We’re going to be a little more complex with
our offense,” head coach Rusty Carlson noted of the
luxury of returning so many players. “We’re going to
continue to emphasize defense and no ball hits the
ground.”
ANNIE WRIGHT
The Gators lost Emerald League MVP Lani Kalalau to graduation, but return nearly every other player
after claiming seventh place at the 1A state tournament last fall.
The offense starts with tall, imposing senior
left-handers Margaux Arnston and Tori Smith, who
each possess the height and strength to wear down
opponents at the net. Junior setter Kaley Turner also
returns and should provide Arnston and Smith with
ample opportunities to attack, and head coach Rodney Kalalau noted that the teams’ setters should be a
strength.
Lexi LeClech also returns to the middle, and Maria
Vipond is a versatile player that will most likely be
asked to help out on the defensive end at libero.

From page A6
“We have to put it behind
us and go forward,” Randall said. “We have a highcharacter team who should
respond to the challenge.”
Leading the Warrior
attack will be senior quarterback Keila Pritchard, who
is the younger brother of
record-setting former Warriors quarterback Tana Pritchard. Trying to pick up the
slack for departed 1,800-yard
rusher Brandon Pritchett will
be senior Cordel Nelson, who
learned from Pritchett for
much of the last two years.
“Cordel now has to give
the game-in and game-out
effort that Brandon gave if
we are to be successful,”
Randall said.
Picking up the slack on the
defensive side of the ball will
be defensive back Damian
Davis and 305-pound defensive lineman Niko Ekeroma.
If the young players can
respond early, Randall thinks
Clover Park could contend
for a playoff spot. “Fife,
Franklin Pierce and Orting
should be tough, as we cannot afford to go too deep into
our bench late in the season,”
Randall said.

CHARLES WRIGHT
TARRIERS
The Tarriers have their
sights set high again after
falling in the 1A state playoffs to eventual state champ
Montesano. There is a considerable amount to replace, but
a strong defense – with nine
returning starters – should
keep Charles Wright in contention for the Nisqually
League title.
“We think we should just
pick up where we left off
defensively,” said head coach
Mike Finch.
The defense starts with
6-foot-5, 332-pound senior
Robert Luke Jr. and 6-foot-4,
260-pound senior Wunmi
Oyetuga, who will also
anchor the offensive line.

for Charles Wright, which hopes to return to the state playoffs this season.
6-foot-7, completes the physically imposing front line, and
linebacker Alexander Moore
is a speedy playmaker. The
Tarriers will look to athletic
senior Andrew Williams to
be a lockdown corner on the
outside.
Offensively, sophomore
Henry Cheney will take the
reins at quarterback, and his
quickness should allow for
more running opportunities.
But the bulk of the carries
should go to Moore, whose
elite speed should provide
for plenty of breakaway
plays. Sophomore Desmond
Jones takes over at tailback,
6-foot-6 junior Sean Gorman fills in at tight end and
Williams will be looked to
at wide receiver. Luke and
Oyetuga will be joined up
front by Bruce, Avery Cederstrand and senior Ken Wakaba, a first-year varsity player
set to take over at center.
Senior kicker Travis Sowell
should ensure a solid special
teams corps.
“Our goal is to win the
Nisqually League championship game and make a deep
run in the playoffs,” Finch
said. “We’ve got a lot of
work (to do) if we’re going
to get there.”

LIFE CHRISTIAN
EAGLES
First-year head coach
Tim Kuykendall inherits a
team that struggled to a 1-9
finish last season. Kuykendall, who had great success
coaching baseball at both
Auburn and Curtis, should
see an improved club with
the returning starters on
offense alone.
Leading the way on
offense are wide receiver
Kyle Goodman, offensive
lineman Kevin Breen, running back Lionel Hampton, and quarterback Taylor
Roelofs, which should give
the Eagles a balanced offensive attack. Defensively, the
Eagles should be improved
with defensive back Sam
Absten, linebacker Ben
Madlena, and defensive back
Jeremy Pallwitz.
Facing strong returning squads in both Charles
Wright and Eatonville and
perennial league heavyweight
Cascade Christian, Kuykendall believes staying healthy
will put the Eagles in a position to contend for a playoff
spot. “We have a lot of talent
back on both sides of the
ball, especially on offense
with Taylor, Lionel, and Kyle
carrying most of the load.”
With a new coaching staff
comes new schemes and different looks, but Kuykendall will employ much of the
same looks as previous head
coach Ross Hjelseth. “We
want to keep things simple

CRUSADERS
The Crusaders are facing
a battle with numbers, as a
small turnout forced them
to cancel their Sept. 6 season opener against Charles
Wright. With the help of
three players from Mount
Rainier Lutheran, Tacoma
Baptist will battle through
its schedule, and despite the
lack of numbers they look to
have some promising talent.
“We’re young, but we’ve
got a fairly good crew of
kids,” said head coach Mark
Smith. “We’re just shorthanded.”
The offense will be run
through junior 6-foot, 170pound quarterback Morgan
Wood, a converted wide
receiver who Smith noted is
“gonna be a good one before
he’s done.”
Running back Tyler Hertz
should get a bulk of the carries, while Elijah Kazarovich
should also bolster the
ground game and Jonny Van
Parys will get looks at wide
receiver.
The offensive and defensive lines will be anchored
by 6-foot-1, 260-pound Tony
Porter, while Kyle Kliewer is
also a two-way standout and
Ezekiel Kazarovich should
contribute at offensive line
and linebacker. Hertz will
also bolster the linebacker
corps, while Van Parys will
lead the secondary.
“I think that the kids that
are going to be on the field
for the most part know how
to play the game, so we’ll
have some good experience
that way,” Smith said.
The Crusaders will get
their season underway against
Life Christian on Sept. 14 at
7 p.m. at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood.

CONTESTANTS VIE FOR SPOT AT PUYALLUP PRO RODEO
With the clock ticking before the first
performance of the Justin boots Playoffs
at the Puyallup Pro Rodeo hosted by the
Washington State Fair, rodeo contestants
are becoming very focused on the world
standings.
Only the top 24 contestants in the
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association
and Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Professional Rodeo Association qualify for the richest rodeo in the
Northwest on Sept. 6-8. That means Matt
Shiozawa, from Chubbock, Idaho, who
won the tie-down roping here last year
has some ground to make up. Shiozawa is
28th in the standings.
Last year, Shiozawa won $19, 615,
moved into the top 10 in the standings and
qualified for his sixth Wrangler National
WGarden
Clubbeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, Alexandra,
Ruby and Sam brought
enough salads, corn, beans,
rice, casseroles and desserts
to cover a park picnic table.
They had all come
to a green spot by the dry
Roosevelt Elementary School
playfields to celebrate the
summer they learned about
gardening.
The 20 students in grades
four through nine from
Roosevelt, and Blix elementary schools, Giaudrone and
First Creek middle schools
and Mount Tahoma High
School made up the inaugural Sustainable Roots class.
They named themselves the
Eastside Green Thumbs.
A program of Northwest
Leadership Foundation, Sustainable Roots invited students in low-income neighborhoods to spend a summer of learning, growing and
sharing at Rooseveltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school
garden.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It empowers them in
ways we can barely name,â&#x20AC;?
said Monty Smith, the retired
United Methodist minister
who has directed the program this summer as a labor
of faith, hope and love, but
not pay.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Northwest Leadership
Foundation has taken on the
commitment to explore how
youth, especially underserved
kids, can find resources in
Finals Rodeo (NFR). In order to be in
Las Vegas this December to compete at
rodeoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championships, he has got to earn
enough money to qualify for the Playoffs
where he could have a repeat victory and
move into the top 15 in the standings.
For reigning world champion bull rider
Cody Teel from Kountze, Texas, the goal
is the same, but has a different outcome.
Teel is in third place in the standings, just
$20,000 behind J.W. Harris, from Mullin, Texas, who won $20,697 and the title
here last year. Teel led the world standings
for much of the 2012 season en route to
his first gold buckle signifying he is the
worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best. He will be in Puyallup trying
to narrow the gap between him and Harris
before the regular season is over the end
From page A1
this growing world of environmentalism and sustainable
living,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This summer we started the Eastside
Youth Garden Project.â&#x20AC;?
As is Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way, partners stepped up to collaborate.
Pierce Conservation District contributed $10,000, and
the City of Tacoma allocated a $4,000 Make a Splash
grant. Tacoma School District asked to feed the kids
breakfast and lunch, instead
of leaving them to rely on
the summer meal program
by Metro Parks and St. Leoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Food Connection.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feather in the
cap of the food services guy
who ran us down and said,
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do this through food
services,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The
School District has ways to
support these things, and this
gets them some skin in the
game, which is great.â&#x20AC;?
Every new partner, from
the district to non-profits
to neighbors, increases the
chances of having the program next year.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we get a second year,
we will hire second-year students as paid interns,â&#x20AC;? Smith
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a piece we are
committed to, provided funding is available. We have high
hopes that the conservation
district will work with us
another year. These garden
programs are new in town,
and people are skittish about
whether there will be enough
infrastructure.â&#x20AC;?
Many campuses, from
elementary through high
school, have gardens teachers
use as educational tools when
classes are in session. Caring
for them through the summer
is more random. Castings,
for example, has worked with
kids in a summer program at
McCarver Elementary. But
young gardeners at Roosevelt
helped out at Stewart Middle
Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raised beds and to
inspire students and neighbors at Bryant Elementaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
plots.
With college students
Viet Tran, Libby Shafer and
Aliyah Simcoff, they took
field trips to the Enviro
House, Seymour Conservatory, Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blueberry
Park, Owen Beach and the
Thursday Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market on
Broadway.
They delivered vegetables
to St. Leoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Connection
and made pizza at the Free
Range Kitchen. Nine of them
earned Pierce County food
handlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cards.
They learned from the
example of a dozen different
adults working â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly volunteering â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to make the camp
a success. Lead teacher Brett
Clubbe and teacher and consultant Lynn Lomax enlisted
Kristen McIvor and Micaela
Cooley of Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community garden program, Jennifer
Chang and Kory Kramer of
of September.
Harris is himself a three-time world
champion and two-time runner up. In fact,
the 2012 race was so tight, Teel won the
title by a mere $1,056, less than 1 percent
of his total earnings.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning Puyallup was really important for me last year,â&#x20AC;? Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This
year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a better position in the world
standings, but as good as Cody and those
other guys ride, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have too much
of a lead going into the finals (NFR).â&#x20AC;?
The 24 contestants in bareback riding,
steer wrestling, team roping (heading and
heeling), saddle bronc riding, tie-down
roping and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barrel racing will
be competing for nearly $500,000. The
contestants will be split into two groups
Forterra, and Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden
coordinator, the aptly-named
Kale Inverson, plus donors
and grassroots leaders.
The investment has paid
off in confidence, new skills
and a level perspective.
Alyna Lewandowsky, 11,
got a start on the work skills
Brett Clubbe promised, and
the personal growth he did
not mention.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told us it would be
a great opportunity for education, a great way to get
a job at a gardening shop,â&#x20AC;?
she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The school has
so much potential, and gardening is very common. It
can help people with anger
issues. If you just put a person in a garden, they would
be calm, weeding and watering.â&#x20AC;?
Trang Ha, 13, looked to
the future, too.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you apply for a
job or college, it helps that
you volunteer,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I
learned how to plant, what
kind of soil you need, and
when to plant. We came four
times a week, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m planning to do it next year.â&#x20AC;?
Cecilia Fernandez Aponte, 11, was sold on the summer plan at the end of fifth
grade.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Brett was our nutrition teacher, and brought us
over here to garden. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
how I signed up for this program,â&#x20AC;? she said. You learn
a lot. I tasted new things. I
had never had kale or chives
before, but I tasted them, and
of twelve and each will compete twice.
Their goal is to do well enough to advance
to the semi-finals and the finals, which
will both be held on Sept. 8 where the
lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the prize money will be
paid and Puyallup Rodeo champions will
be determined.
Tickets for the rodeo start at just $5
and may be purchased online at www.

they were good.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew cucumbers and
sunflowers, a really big one,
and learned how to plant
trees. It was actually pretty
fun,â&#x20AC;? said Lorena CastanedaBitsue, 8.
She was serving her
momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tamales at the feast,
and feeling special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was talking about the
tamales and telling me they
were good.â&#x20AC;?
Everyone was right. They
were delectable, especially with Jocelyn Pichardoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
salsa.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big thing I learned
is about sustainability, and
why gardening is important,â&#x20AC;?
Jocelyn, 13, said of the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Planting is how it all
started. We have to keep on
going. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m planning on an
internship.â&#x20AC;?
The summer also brought
them lessons in disappoint-
:,,7(.,)
ment, even anger.
Vandals killed some of
the fruit trees the students
planted, though they did not
take the first frost peach.
They ripped plants out
one night, and came back the
next day to rip out more.
Alahnna Connolly, 13,
thought working in the garden would make them feel
better than ruining it.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can help things
grow, and it actually results
in pretty things,â&#x20AC;? she said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peaceful. It helps
calm me down.â&#x20AC;?
Jocelyn agreed. If she
knew who they were, she
would invite the vandals to
join Green Thumb next summer.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of telling them
what not to do, maybe we
should invite them to join
us,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re
envious.â&#x20AC;?

EAT YOUR WAY THROUGH THE FAIR

One of the best things about the Washington State
Fair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in addition to the thrill rides, music, rodeos,

LINCOLN BRINGS THE FUN. Lincoln High School students gave First Creek Middle School an sampling of the excitement of high school, with drummers, cheer-
leaders and a picture board of JROTC events.
WParade
Tacoma firefighters led
the parade with a truck.
School and local officials
waved from LeMay cars.
The Urban Empire dance
crew and the Electronettes
step team dazzled with
their skills. Rodney Raccoon made healthy living
look like fun. Lincoln High
School Cheerleaders made
high school seem glamorous. Teachers from Lister,
Blix and Roosevelt elementary schools marched with
banners.
At the festival, Lincoln
students Sienna Weber,
Azariea Bonner-Harris and
Meme Weber represented
the First Creek Sisterhood.
They are mentors bent on
helping middle schoolers discover their real
strengths.
Sarah Teague introduced
families to United Way of
Pierce Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 211 program, which directs people
to the resources â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from heat
to counseling to food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they
need.
Yasmine Farrington of
Save Our Soles brought
100 pairs of shoes to give
out for free.
From page A1
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to collect shoes,â&#x20AC;?
the Central Washington
University junior said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I
woke up one morning and
thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am so selfish.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
Now she directs the
non-profit she founded to
give shoes away.
Jesse Pasqcua of AmeriCorps was signing up students for the College Bound
Scholarship program.
Megan Gaines and
Gayla Bacon kept track of
the kids who took candies
from the Catholic Community Services table. One
piece only, they said. Too
much is bad for you.
But this event, they said
was good for everybody in
a neighborhood thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richer
in determination than cash.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings a huge surge
of hope,â&#x20AC;? Gaines said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have families
who are down to no finances, who are struggling to
survive, and their kids need
supplies, and the teacher
is asking you to send in
Kleenex and hand sanitizers and you are barely able
to clothe your children, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
embarrassing. They feel
embarrassed about hand-
me-downs. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing
the best you can, and yet
again, you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve
failed. When you can get
school supplies, you think,
at least I have that. At least
I did this.â&#x20AC;?
She paused and looked
around and thought of all
those notebooks filled, all
those pencils down to nubs
in a few monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish they could be
held more than once a
year,â&#x20AC;? she said.
And there Shennetta
Smith stood with her children, proof that this much
collaboration, this much
support pays off.
The kids, Abrigail, 10,
Dartanyon, 9, Zion, 5, and
Josiah Pratcher, 3, finished
their burgers and asked to
go to the bounce houses
while their mom told the
familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story.
They moved to Graham from the East, and
got scammed by a man
who broke into foreclosed
homes, changed the locks
and rented them to victims, including Smith and
her family. When the law
caught up with him, the
family ended up living in a
Salvation Army shelter.
Three months later, they
had a chance to move into
Salishan, where counselors
introduce residents to all
the programs that can help
them become independent
again.
They furnished their
home, thanks to Northwest Furniture Bank. They
stayed healthy, thanks to
Community Health Care.
Then she and her husband divorced.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I wanted to go
to school,â&#x20AC;? Smith said, and
outlined all the support that
helped her earn her chemical dependency counselorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
certificate and, this year,
her associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree. She
is bound for Evergreen
State College this fall, for
a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in psychology.
Her children talk about
what they want to become
after college.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so down when
I came here,â&#x20AC;? she said,
looking out at the festi-
valâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it
wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for them, it would be
so much harder. So much
harder. They are willing to
help you if you are will-
ing to do the work to get
on your feet and be selfsufficient.â&#x20AC;?
They, like Smith, never
surrender.

Going to the Dentist Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
Have to Be a Source of Stress
Getting over dental
anxiety can save your
smile and pocketbook
If you are a little
apprehensive
about
going to the dentist,
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. Fifty
percent of Americans say
they experience anxiety
over visiting the dentist.
Many admit they visit
less frequently than they
should as a result, and some
avoid going to the dentist
altogether. These skipped visits can have terrible consequences, and often lead to even
higher levels of anxiety.
Regular check-ups and teeth cleanings are the best way to avoid dental anxiety, because
they help avoid the need for invasive and expensive dental procedures. Your new Bright
Now! Dental office in Lakewood (on Gravelly Lake Drive SW) knows that the dentist may
not be your favorite place to visit, but we want to help make your dental appointment as
pleasant as possible. By following these three simple tips, you can help alleviate your stress
and brighten your smile.
Talk to your dentist
Make sure your dentist knows you are nervous! The staff at Bright Now! Dental in Lakewood,
Tacoma, Puyallup and throughout the Pacific Northwest are happy to work with you to help
ease your anxiety, so be sure to talk to them about it up front. If you are apprehensive about
a procedure, ask them to explain it to you so you will know what to expect.
Ask questions
Fear of the unknown can leave you to assume the worst case scenario, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid
to ask questions about your visit. Your Bright Now! dentist or oral hygienist can walk you
through the planned procedures and talk to you as the visit progresses. When you know
ahead of time what to expect and how long will it take, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel much more at ease.
Just do it
Even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel ready, convince yourself to visit a dentist. If it has been a long time
since your last visit, you may be surprised at how much dental procedures and technology
have improved.
Though you may be apprehensive, the reasons to see your dentist far outweigh the short
term benefits of avoidance. By maintaining regular dental visits, you will improve your oral
health, decrease your anxiety and brighten your smile for years to come.

T
he Washington State Fair
begins its 113th year today
and will continue through
Sept. 22. The Fair will officially kick off
with the traditional cattle drive and the
Washington State Fair Western Rodeo
Parade at 10 a.m. on Meridian Street in
downtown Puyallup.
Corriente cattle will lead the way, followed by draft horse hitches, marching
bands, equestrian drill teams and costume characters. Preceding the parade
will be the rodeo breakfast, held from
8 to 10 a.m. at Pioneer Park’s Pavilion
across from Puyallup City Hall next to
the parade route. Breakfast will cost $2.
Gate admission will be free from 9
a.m. to noon on opening day with a nonperishable food donation for Puyallup
Food Bank.
The fair will feature its usual array of
carnival rides, livestock displays, food
booths and concerts; and to that mix
fair organizers have added several new
attractions for 2013.
Luminasia lantern festival (daily):
This ancient lantern-making craft has
been transformed and modernized to

orry to be a bummer, people,
but we’re on the wrong side
of Labor Day. Nine months
of relentless drizzle are just around the
corner. The good news, though, is the
Washington State Fair kicks off today
and runs through Sept. 22, with 17 days
of rodeo, carnival rides and chart-topping pop stars to help savor these last,
fleeting days of sunshine.
And really, what better way to stay
in a sunny frame of mind than partying
with Little Big Town, the harmony-rich
country quartet that will bring its infectious summer jam, “Pontoon,” and other
hits to the 11,000-seat Western Wash-

The formidable foursome – Karen
Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip
Sweet and Jimi Westbrook – is enjoying the biggest year of its decade and a
half into its run. And recently, Tacoma
Weekly caught up with Westbrook to
find out how his group plans to build on
that momentum.
Tacoma Weekly: You guys are having a pretty big year this year. You had
“Tornado” go platinum. You had your
first No. 1 song, with “Pontoon.” You

PUYALLUP
TRIBAL IMPACT
TRIBAL IMPACT
SUPPORTING
THE ECONOMIC
GROWTH OF OUR
COMMUNITY
Over the years, the Puyallup Tribe of
Indians has transformed itself and its role in
the community. The Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determined protection of its natural resources, its pivotal role in
development of Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s port area, the Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
major donations to other governments and
to charitable organizations, the new-concept
Tahoma Market gas station and convenience
store, and the development and expansion of
the Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emerald Queen Casinos are examples of the Puyallup Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic progress.
Through its two Emerald Queen Casino
locations, Administration, Health Authority,
Housing Authority, economic development corporation and school, the Puyallup Tribe is one
of the largest employers in Pierce County with a
payroll of more than 3,500 people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 74 percent
of whom are non-Native â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and total spending in
2011 of nearly $430 million. This spending supports the community by paying good wages and
generous benefits to individuals, and by purchasing goods and services from local suppliers,
vendors, contractors and construction companies. Assistance provided to the broader Native
American community and the Puyallup Tribal
membership also has a far-reaching impact in
the community as most of these dollars are in
turn spent in the local economy.
The Puyallup Tribe is continuously living
up to its name, which means, â&#x20AC;&#x153;generous and
welcoming behavior to all people.â&#x20AC;? As such, the
Tribe is a key sponsor of countless local charities, non-profit organizations, social welfare
projects and events that may otherwise suffer in
todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tight economy.
Despite economic uncertainties across the
country, the South Sound is doing well, and
the Puyallup Tribe of Indians plays a key role in
keeping that a reality. From funding education,
jobs, healthcare, city improvement projects,
crime prevention and environmental efforts,
the Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tradition as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;generous peopleâ&#x20AC;? is
as strong today as it ever was.
Millions in Funding for Local Governments
Each year the Puyallup Tribe distributes
2 percent of its gaming revenue from its two
Emerald Queen Casino locations to local governments. Over the years the Tribe has provided
millions of dollars to fund vital projects and
services, and in these current times of economic
uncertainty and struggle, funding from the Tribe
is most welcome as state and municipal governments slash their budgets and lay off workers
to help make ends meet. Decisions on how to
distribute this money is made by the Community
Contribution Committee, which consists of representatives of the Puyallup Tribe, the Cities of
Tacoma, Puyallup, and Fife, Pierce County, and
the Washington State Gambling Commission.
This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approved distribution was for
$1.9 million and was awarded as follows:
The City of Fife was approved to receive
$850,000, an amount determined by an interlocal agreement between the City and the Tribe.
These funds go toward a host of community
improvement projects that have ranged from
police and fire protection to road improvements
such as implementing high-occupancy vehicle
lanes along Fifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stretch of Interstate 5.
The City of Puyallup was approved to
receive $38,500 for automatic vehicle locators
for Puyallup Police Department. Beginning in
January, these will be installed in all of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
police cars, which will allow officers to have a
moving map on their computers and transmit
their locations to the dispatch center. When
dispatchers receive 911 calls, they will be able to
send the patrol car that is closest to the location
of the emergency.
The City of Tacoma was approved to receive
$798,237. Of this amount, $188,454 will go to
law enforcement costs related to the Emerald
Queen Casino in Tacoma. Another $541,783
goes to Tacoma Fire Department, which in 2011
provided fire and medical response 525 times
to the casinos. And $68,000 goes to the City
Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office to pay for prosecuting crimes
related to casino operations.
Pierce County was approved to receive
$85,431 for emergency management services.
This covers the cost of assigning county employees to assist the Tribe in preparing to deal with
natural disasters. The Tribe agreed to fully fund
the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $148,051 request as there were
not enough 2% funds available. An additional
$62,620 will thus be paid from the Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general
fund.
Washington State Patrol was approved to
receive $150,000 for costs associated with mitigating traffic safety issues on state highways impacted
by casino patrons.
;HJVTH-PYL+LWHY[TLU[YLJLP]LKMYVT[OL;YPIL
Partnering to Improve Local Transportation
The Tribe has recognized the need
to partner with local jurisdictions to
improve local transportation. In the
past five years, the Tribe has spent
more than $27 million on transportation projects and traffic safety services in neighboring areas. These are
largely done in collaboration with state
and local governments to benefit the
regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing traffic infrastructure,
which helps everyone.
Projects range from lighting & safety improvements, bridges, to reconstruction projects. These projects provide
hundreds of jobs to local engineers,
tradesmen, environmental and cultural
resource consultants, construction contractors, and the like.

RECENT PROJECTS INCLUDE:
Huckleberry Bridge: Replacement
of a 90ft span bridge, including an
access road to the bridge. The project was done under agreement with
the Forest Service; the Tribe met the
requirements of federal environmental
law (NEPA) and will be responsible for
bridge maintenance after the project
is completed. The project went out to
bid in 2011 and construction began
in August 2011. The project is now
finished and operational. The Tribe
recently received a best project management award for this project by the
Regional Bureau of Indian Affairs for
completing the project under budget
and coordinating with non-tribal jurisdictions for fish restoration.
Grandview Avenue & R Street:
Reconstruction projects that include
adding sidewalk, curbs, gutters, lighting, and stormwater drainage. Permitted
through the City of Tacoma. Paving was
completed in September 2012.
Pacific Highway, Fife: Development
of civil engineering, right of way identification and planning for the installation of storm water and utilities in a
three lane road between Pacific Highway
South and 12th Avenue. The development of the roadway and utilities is to
enhance traffic circulation and thus
traffic safety of the general public and
to provide an alternative access point
for ingress/egress to the 54th Street
interchange with I-5 where the service
level is below standard. Project design
began in 2009. The first phase of the
project was completed and opened to
traffic in March 2012.

TAYLOR’S STATE OF GRACE
My night with
Taylor Swift
By Sean Contris
On 2012’s “Red” album Taylor dropped the country
sound found in earlier recordings in favor of a bigger,
more crossover commercial sound. These songs had a
larger scale: they were faster, they were more pop, and
they transferred over to the arena venue better than
one can imagine. Tracks like “Holy Ground,” the U2ian “State of Grace” and, of course, smash hits such
as “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “We Are Never
Ever Getting Back Together” were simply made to be
performed under bombastic lights on cranes, accom-
Special Correspondent
S
o there I was, it was sometime around 9:30
in the evening on a Saturday night, and I was
watching Taylor Swift levitate into the air on
a platform that looked like a bizarre hybrid of disco
ball and elevator. You know, I’d be lying if I told you
that when I woke up last Monday morning I thought
I was going to be seeing world’s most powerful 23year-old superstar sail over the heads over 20,000
screaming fans, but there I was, loving every freaking
second of it.
Swift needs no introduction at this point, so I won’t
give her one. You know who this woman is, you know
what she does, you know her story, and no matter
who you are, you know “Love Story” or “You Belong
With Me” by heart. Over the years Swift has enjoyed
an incredible and rather graceful rise to stardom. If
watching her performance on the “Red” tour confirms
anything, it’s that the 16-year-old girl from Nashville
singing about teardrops on her guitar is long gone,
replaced by an absolute tour de force of pop music
glory.
Swift made her 56th stop on her marching “Red”
tour at the Tacoma Dome on Aug. 31, bringing with
her an army of fantastically dressed backup dancers,
a full-on stadium spectacle worthy of the Queen of
England and an awkward ginger from the UK by the
name of Ed Sheeran. Sheeran opened the show, performing in the style of a one-man band, though he was
accompanied only by a guitar. He took advantage of a
loop pedal, which allowed for him to build a massive
pyramid like wall of sound that filled the Stadium.
Sheeran ran through his material in rapid fire speed,
turning the majority of his music into medleys on the
fly, including what was likely a shout out to Seattle’s
own Macklemore with a quick break of the “Thrift
Shop” chorus.
“I have one goal,” he said mid set, “and that’s to
make everyone here lose their voice by the time I
leave.” Though Sheeran may have missed this goal,
it was without a doubt carried on in spirit 30 minutes
following his departure.
And then there she stood, hidden behind a gigantic
red waterfall of a curtain, Swift’s silhouette towered
over us all, hand on hip, mic in hand. The curtain came
up and America’s sweetheart began the show.
Swift’s greatest ability has always been her natural
gift for channeling the idea of youth as both a nostalgic hiding place and a fairy tale-like land that holds the
infinite possibility that only a child can 100 percent
believe in. It’s what has made her music so accessible, and has allowed her to have the crossover appeal
that extends well beyond the age of 16. Through her
musical evolution and her reach for a slightly more
mainstream sound, Swift has never once lost sight
of this vision, and instead it appears that her grasp
around it seems that much tighter. Much of the visual
symbolism employed by Swift and company is unmistakably childlike in design and style. Dancers donned
costumes that bore a strong resemblance to characters
from famous tales such as “The Nutcracker,” “Alice in
Wonderland,” “Cinderella” and for the slightly older,
“Moulin Rouge” and even what appeared to be a slight
nod to “Les Miserables.”
panied by dancers, confetti, surreal set pieces and a
light show that would make Roger Waters blush. And
did she disappoint? No. Though some of these performances could have undoubtedly been toned down, it
still gave way to some incredible moments. It’s going
to be difficult to forget the image of Swift emerging
from a toy box in what looked almost like a wedding
gown, or how powerful she looked as the stage folded
out into a crane and held her over the audience as
pieces of red and white confetti showered the crowd.
Country music, the house that built her musical
career, has not been forgotten on this tour, and the
show had no lack of personal moments and poignant
true to life stories. A large chunk of the middle section
found Swift exploring her quieter songs, and though
she may have been on a raised pedestal for most of
these songs, their quiet meaning still stood strong. The
most important part of country has always been in its
honesty, in its directness, and of course, Swift knows
this. In between songs she would pause and rattle out
long stories that felt at once awkward and unplanned,
but all the more raw and genuine for it. During the performance of the show’s most affecting ballad, “All Too
Well,” Swift, who was seated on a massive red grand
piano, stopped and looked over the crowd wearing an
expression of absolute fragility. It was at that moment
when the entire audience could see what she had been
through, and could sympathize with her. It was at this
moment when the artist’s talent shined the brightest;
it’s where country’s honesty reared its head; it’s where
Miss Swift was at her absolute finest.
Highlights from the show include the stripped
down, almost Motown take on “You Belong With
Me,” the pounding “Holy Ground” (complete with rad
new drum breaks), the absurdly grandiloquent “You
Belong With Me,” the jaw dropping “Treacherous,”
which found Swift lightly stepping toward the end of
the stage as if on a tightrope leading to the end of the
world, and finally the epic closer “We Are Never Ever
Getting Back Together,” the most explosive moment
of the night, which was a total cathartic release in the
form of a backhanded tell off.
If this performance on the “Red” tour confirms
anything at all, it’s that Swift is at the very peak of
her power commercially and artistically, and with the
exception of maybe a certain Mrs. Carter, Swift reigns
unchallenged as the queen of American pop music.
Her uncanny ability to channel the sense of youth and
excitement is a testament to her ability as not only a
songwriter or musician, but as an artist. Even at its
snarkiest (and it does get snarky!), her performance
still has a sense of purity, a glossy coating that comes
with a memory that only looks brighter and brighter in
hindsight. One of the most interesting moments of the
night occurred when Taylor was off stage. There was a
collection of home movies being broadcasted showing
Swift’s growing up starting at age 1, and moving all
the way to the present day. The video, obviously centered around her love of music, starting with a 3-yearold girl attempting to sing a song she had heard on the
radio, and ending with a shot of the very stage we had
all gathered around. Swift’s underlining message of
course being, “this is something I’ve always wanted
to do, something that’s been with me my whole life,
and something that I will continue to do until I simply
can’t do it anymore.”
Sean Contris is currently a student enrolled at
TCC. Oftentimes he comes too close to embodying
the classical, and often times stereotypical, persona of
a young male writer. Sean enjoys listening to a wide
range of music and locking himself in his room to read
sad Russian novels.

acoma Weekly
was undeterred
by rumors of
ravenous zombies roaming
Seattle Center over Labor
Day weekend. We weren’t
about to miss out on Bumbershoot, Jet City’s annual
three-day showcase of
music, arts and random
weirdness. Here’s some of
what we saw with more
Bumbershots and video
viewable online at www.
tacomaweekly.com.
1. The infected were
way friendlier than the carnivorous hordes seen on
“World War Z,” flashing
dead-eyed stares as they
posed with festival goers
when they weren’t staging
zombie attack flash mobs.
British ‘60s pop band the
Zombies weren’t nearly as
frightening as they played
the Mural Amphitheatre.
2. Synth-pop legend
Gary Numan delivered
one of the weekend’s most
dramatic and buzz-worthy sets, a performance
that included “Cars” and
“Metal” from his landmark 1979 album, “The
Pleasure Principle,” and
“Down in the Park” from
his days as leader of Tubeway Army. “When the Sky
Bleeds He Will Come” –
among newer, gothy cuts
– was a testament to his
enduring relevance as a
performer and songwriter.
3. Ty Taylor – dapper front man for classic rhythm and blues act
Vintage Trouble – was
PHOTO BY ERNEST JASMIN
among the festival’s most
magnetic performers. He
recalled a young James
Brown as his band romped
through retro rump-shakers from its debut album,
“The Bomb Shelter.”
4. Fresh from an
appearance at Burning
Man Festival, world beat/
electronic fusion band
Beats Antique (Zoe Jakes
pictured) overcame nagging sound issues and a
stolen laptop to deliver a
crowd-pleasing set at the
Fountain Lawn stage.
5. On a sweltering Sunday, Isaiah John sported
a fuzzy, green ensemble
as he passed out info on
medical marijuana cards.
Judging by the plumes of
smoke and rich, herbal
smell wafting through
KeyArena as Kendrick
Lamar performed, many
concertgoers were favorable to the green agenda.
6. Tacoma’s own Vicci
Martinez headlined the
Mural Amphitheatre stage
on Sunday with songs from
her major label debut,
“Vicci,” and fan favorites
from her days coming up
Jazzbones, the Swiss Tavern and other local haunts.
We’re guessing you might
see her onstage next when

actually had a platinum record then, too. So it’s been quite
a few years in between; but it definitely makes us so appreciative of what’s goin’ on, because we’ve definitely been on
both sides of things.
We’re just enjoying the moment; and more than anything
we know to do that and to take it all in and just enjoy it, and
we’re having the time of our lives out here.
TW: Before “Boondocks,” success was pretty gradual
for the band. Were there times you doubted you’d reach the
level that you’ve reached?
Westbrook: You know, I don’t think we ever did. We felt
like, until that point, we just weren’t getting the opportunities. But we’re pretty stubborn.
Right as “Boondocks” was happening, we had just the
prior year gone to our booking agents and those type of
people saying, “If you’ll just get us gas money, just get us
the opportunity to play in front of people, we’ll take it,” and
we did. We were driving ourselves around in a van, just the
four of us. We were settin’ up merch, sometimes makin’ our
own merch. At that point we were making bootleg copies
of “Boondocks” and just passin’ ‘em out ‘cause we felt like
that was a song that could give us an opportunity. At that
point, all we were thinking about was just trying to get out
there and get in front of people.
TW: Obviously, you struggled more. But is there anything you miss about the days when you were a band in a
van?
Westbrook: Those were such great times. They were
hard times; we didn’t have a dime to our names, but there is
something really cool about that struggle. I think it makes
us the band we are today and how close we are, the four of
us. … I think of these people as my family, and it definitely
has to do with that time period. But I’ll say, I’m enjoying it
on this side, too. (He laughs.) It’s a lot easier to crawl on a
bus and let someone else drive you all night long.
TW: “Pontoon” is kind of a different song for you guys.
What attracted you to it in the first place?
Westbrook: I think the quirkiness of it. There’s a spirit
in that song that’s just a lot of fun. … Then getting in the
studio with Jay Joyce and making that track, he just brought
it to another level.
TW: What about the funny viral video for that thing
where you have all the all-stars? How did that come about?
Westbrook: A couple of people at our label, I think, had
that idea and put that all together. They didn’t really tell us
what it was gonna be. … All those folks in there are very
busy people, so to think that they took the time to do that.
And man, it just kind of spawned a whole series of those
kinds of things. Then we started getting them from fans.
Their families would go out on pontoons and make their
own versions. It was just really cool how that kind of all
took place and spawned all of that activity.
TW: Obviously, you’re pretty busy. But in your down
time do you find yourself going on YouTube and looking
for those.
Westbrook: Definitely, when that was going on I
couldn’t help myself but go on. Most of the time people
would send them to us. But yeah, you know, that’s good late
night fodder when you’re on a bus and you’re rollin’ down
the road.
TW: Or you can Google yourself.
Westbrook: (He laughs) I try not to do that. I’ve done
it a couple of times, and I’m never happy with the pictures
that come up.
TW: What’s the focus of your set list this time around?
Westbrook: We’re really focusing on this record, on the
“Tornado” album. From the moment we were creating in the
studio … I couldn’t wait to play this record live. There’s just
such great energy in the songs.
We throw in maybe a cover tune here and there. We’ve
done the Fleetwood Mac moment (“The Chain”) on the
CMT Awards. We’re throwing that in there, too, so that’s a
lot of fun. Our whole thing is we love playing live, and we’re
trying to make a really energetic set.
TW: It’s been around a year since “Tornado” came out.
Have you had time to start planning the next record? Might
you surprise us with some new songs you’re trying out?
Westbrook: We’re probably gonna go in the studio at
the first of next year and start actually making the record.
But we have definitely begun writing, and we’ve had some
friends that have come out on the road a few times. We
wrote with Lori McKenna again last week; she came out on
the road with us, and we had a great time with her. So that’s
definitely happening now, and it’s exciting.
TW: Do you have any song titles, or can you tell us
about the direction you might go in?
Westbrook: We’re wide open at this point. You kind of
try to find those moments that can be a cornerstone piece
of a record. We’ve got some things that we’ve written that
we’re really loving; but even on the last record we weren’t
sure what songs were going to go on that record until we
were in the studio; and even late in that process we didn’t
really know what was going to be the final product. That’s
one of those things you just kind of have to follow and follow your gut (about) what’s working and what’s not working. So we’ll have to see on that.

I can really stand behind
and say this is something
worth seeing. We try to
bring in more outside talent than a lot of other
festivals in Tacoma do. We
do have our local acts,
but we’re sort of trying to
broaden the musical horizons for Tacoma.”
McKinney and Stedtler
raised $7,500 through
Kickstarter this year
- more than three times
last year’s budget. That
allowed the duo to bring in
some of their favorite acts
from out of town, among
them the Bay Area’s Carletta Sue Kay and Twin
Steps and Tender Forever,
the stage name of Portland
electro-pop artist, Melanie
Valera.
“Carletta Sue Kay is
someone that I saw at South
by Southwest in 2011, and
I was immediately struck
by her,” McKinney said.
“It’s a guy named Randy
Walker from San Francisco. He’s just a really big
dude, and he cross dresses
sloppily and sings torch
songs, almost like Antony
and the Johnsons.”
McKinney also expected Twin Steps’ vintage
brand of art-rock to be a big
hit. “They incorporate elements of ‘50s slow dance
music with soul samples
and guitar freakouts, and
it’s all a really interesting
mixture,” he said.
Squeak and Squawk
will also include its share
of Tacoma and Seattle
buzz bands, the likes of
the Fame Riot, Not From
Brooklyn, Wheelies, the
Hoot Hoots and La Luz.
The Broadway Center
shows are open to all ages,
while you must be 21 or
older to attend the New
Frontier showcases.

RICK STEVES
AT THE PANTAGES
Join travel guru Rick Steves
as he leads a discussion on
Travel as a Spiritual Act.
Steves is the author of more
than 50 European travel
guidebooks and host of the
public television series, Rick
Steves’ Europe. He believes
that thoughtful travel expands
our worldview and shapes how
we address the challenges
confronting our nation. Having spent four months each
year overseas for the last 30
years, Rick believes that travel helps us “challenge truths
we were raised to think were
self-evident and God-given.”
Travel also helps us appreciate the spiritual diversity of
the planet while nourishing
the soul of the traveler as
he/she encounters the beautiful and the unique in new
and unfamiliar places. His
classes have helped millions
of Americans not only enjoy
maximum travel thrills per
kilometer, minute and euro,
but become better citizens
of our planet. Rick shares
how the other 96 percent of
humanity sees our nation and
explores how his social activism has grown naturally out
of his travel experiences. The
$75 ticket prices include a
post-show meet and greet, as
well as a 2014 version of his
popular guidebook “Europe
Through the Back Door.” The
performance takes place at
5 p.m. at the Pantages. Info:
